the committee to the continuance Il
the policy of granting high pensions
to widows of officers who did not die
from injuries incurred in the service.
The only precedenls for passing such
bills are found in the cases of the
widows and families of Admiral
Farragut, Generals Hancock, Thomas
and Grant, and the majority of the
commit believe that it would be bad
policy to follow these precedents, in
view of the fact that there are about
one hundred surviving widows of Off
GERS who would then be entitled to
pensions who are now excluded by
the general law.

In December when the evening tram
came in. An elderly farmer was
backed up against the partition,
watching in open mouthed wonder
the big putting engine and the yellow
cars as they discharged their passen-
gers, when handsome young girl in
sealskin cloak dashed forward, and,
throwing herself upon the honest
granger manly breast, imprinted a
kiss upon his sunburned cheek and
exclaimed:
"You dear old pa, l knew you
would be waiting for me And how's
mother and hows joint And, oh |!

up to the scratch, and throwing both
arms around the fair creature, he

Friday there wNs laid to rest in the
cemetery at Fort Valley, Georgia, the
body of young IIigltower, the boy Pro-
liibitionist who WIS murdered hy half
drunken mob IN Atlanta the night the
"anti' victory WIS assured. He was an
intelligent, but unostentatious Christian
youth, who followed the humble occupa-
ton of a photographers assistant. lie
was not even old enough to vote, but he
had seen the evil Effects OF saloon rule,
and whatever influence he had was on the
side of law and order, morality and
decency.
Young Hightower's death was not
tragic one in the ordinary sense OF the
term, but the evidence is clear that he ia
the first victim, and an innocent victim at
that-of rum under the new regime in
the Gate City of Georgia. His death is
directly chargeable 10 that social condi-
ton brought about by saloon domination,
and every person in Atlanta who helped
bring about that condition must bear his
part OF the responsibility. The brutal
negro who threw the stone and who may
or may not be punished for the crime,
was only the creature OF circumstances, aud
his punishment on the scafiold would he
but partial satisfaction of the demands
OF justice and OF an outraged community
The great strength of the Prohibition
movement in this country is due largely
10 the fact that no good citizens life IL
safe where the SALOON intel ests are consid-
cred above the public welfare. The recorc
of murder and riot and debauchery that
has aroused the people of Jacksonvill,
has been duplicated in almost every cit,
and town and village in The land. TIL,
worst of 1t is that the saloon interest Il
generally indissolubly linked with that o.
local political cliques, and the bar-room
bummers are relied on as the stalwar
workers OF the wards. The people see the
dangers that menace the very existence
of society, and they are vigorously laying
the ax at the foot OF the tree. They art
seeking TO extirpate the cause, and wler
that is thoroughly done the effects mus,
speedily disappear.
II is but proper 10 give prominence tc
the martyrdom of young Hightower
Many less worthy, but notorious person
have been apolheosized. But the inno-
cent victims of the saloon monster may be
found everywhere-not in our cemeteries
only-but enduring living deaths from
which the grave would be blessed relief.
II is gratifying to know that the true
young men Of Atlanta do not propose tc
forget the death of their friend aud COM
panion. "The blood of the saints ia tn,
seed of the church" is true Of the Prohi
bition movement as it Is OF religion; ant
there is reason 10 believe that the muir
der OF young Hightower will be avenge'
both ON the scaff1Id and at the ballot box

attended tile session OF the General Christ

Qnnttions Of the greatest interest to the
Christian community were discussed, very
practical papers being read by many OF the
ublest ministers of the country.
No object of Christian effort was more
repeatedly or earnestly brought forward
by the speakers Than that OF the suppress
sion OF intemperance. There were direct
attacks upon the Saloon; ana many speak

topics assigned to them, rel in formal an

both advanced the doctrine OF Prohibition
as the only thing afording a remedy for
The liquor evil.
